Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2040380A2] An EL emitting touch switch is provided with differential amplifier circuits each including an operational amplifier (41) and resistors (R1, R2, R3, R4) for supplying an electric current to a corresponding surface electrode (1a) so that the potential of the surface electrode (1a) may become equal to that of a back electrode (1d). While the application of a driving voltage to an EL layer (1) is stopped, a corresponding detector (40) of the EL emitting touch switch detects the contact of a human body with the surface electrode (1a) on the basis of the output signal from the operational amplifier (41).
